CFPB Amicus Brief to Seventh Circuit in Preston v. Midland Credit Management (2019)
The Seventh Circuit invited the CFPB to present an amicus brief in Preston v. Midland Credit Management. The issue presented deals with the fact that the FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from “using any language or symbol, other than the debt collector’s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram, except that a debt collector may use his business name if such name does not indicate that he is in the debt collection business.” 15 U.S.C. § 1692f(8).
